Tthf

[Titi]

WOW Jaimie-I have been doing the "screw you" game too in the 2ww and was too ashamed to admit it b/c it kind of made me feel really bad and ungrateful! Like I used to be "perfect" and now I'll want another espresso (or drink, or sushi, etc.) and think "I shouldn't- I could be pg" and then yes-the mind games come in, that if I don't imbibe then I won't even be pg-but maybe if I am naughty and do it, then what do you know it will be the time I am pg! I thought I was truly just getting sick!

I was invited to a sex toy party about six months ago thrown by dh's cousin. I didn't go......his MOM & SISTER were going!!!! That was too much for me.

I would really love a TTHF party (yes Honeybee with great cocktails!!!!) I now am convinced that all my bestest friends are online far far away>

 

[tryforbaby2]

Some friends of mine have thrown sex toy / lingerie parties. Like tupper ware parties but with better stuff : ) That would actually be pretty darn fun for spicing up BD ~ wish we could have a party like that on LuckyD's land!

That sure would spice up TTC especially TTHF!!! My idea lightbulb just turned on! I hear about those parties all the time, but I have declined the offers years ago. But now I want to have one or go to one!!! In 5-10 years with all of our children we will all have to mee tup and camp out on her land!!! The her fab photographer husband can take beautiful group photo's of us to remember each other by!!!

titi and jaimie i TOTALLY play those mind games too. Like if im moody with someone I'll think 'oops, now i won't be pg'. and jaimie i totally do that whole, doing things i wouldnt normally do thing hoping it'll double bluff my body and i'll get knocked up. HA! Crazy stuff huh

oooooh tryfor what names you thinking of!? I'd love it if we could all have a party!! I do love a good party. i really love cocktails.

xx

I have a few picked out

Girl
Kiera Christine (Christine after my MIL)
Kayla "
Kaylynn "
Ashlynn "

Boy
Preston Nicholas (Husband and His fathers middle name)
Brandon "

There is more I am sure, they are written down in our bedroom

Only time will tell. My mom said I will have a girl and my sisters will both be having boys. Drives me nuts when everyone 'knows' what you are having.....lol

 

[SquirrelGirl]

A while back, someone asked everyone what their favorite word is. My new favorite word, thanks to Titi, is Kootch! In my head all day long I've been saying that word! Like... last night my OH iced my cupkootch and then I put a kootch cup in so I didn't have a kootch spot.... I keep cracking myself up. kootch kootch kootchity kootch kootch...

omg you guys are hilarious. my cupkootch needed icing last night but i was asleep by the time dh got home lol.

sorry soph, i caved and tested already, 12dpo BFN!!! Rubbish. Am a bit upset about it, esp coz the only spotting ive had this month was 10dpo and it was different to previous months, it was like a gush of brownish cm. so in my head, i was like ooooh maybe IB. but, obviously not or it wouldve showed up today on a sensitive test. grrrrrrr. Im sad. will be on to cycle 8 by the weekend.

other than soph, is anyone else testing soon?

Sorry you're feeling down about this cycle honey! But I will keep my kootch crossed for you! (heeheee, I really have gone over the edge, huh?)

ugh I feel so bad today and cross very cross its annoying! DH has gone to work in a bad mood because of me. I was moaning about my weight as I have been working really hard at losing weight, I exercise every night either an hour walking or an hour swimming and follow weight watchers and this week was a great week exercise and diet wise ( I even kept clear of junk when we were camping) and weighed my self this morning and with out my shoes I have lost half a pound not a great motivation to keep at it is it! I mean put on my shoes and I'm exactly the same. I have been doing really well with watching my sugar in take and have it very low and DH thinks I need to cut it out all together but the thought of that makes me shiver that makes for a very bland diet and how long could I keep that up! I mean you can not live like that for ever. to day I give up LOL well I don't as I'm not letting my diet slip.

sorry for moaning and being all about me I just needed to get that out! I feel like im Pre AF all ready very snappy!

Aww, Niamh, this is what we're here for, so no worries about "moaning" or whatever! I totally know this feeling. Sometimes it doesn't matter just how much to try, the weight just stays on. But it's the long term goal you have to keep in mind. It's very, very hard.

I am seriously very lighthearted....It takes a LOT to offend me, despite my recent grumps about DH's cousin.

I think there is a home test you can do-with the standard ph strips. In fact I think there is a new otc vagisal kit for home testing for infections that might include this.........that's not of course what it is for-but think you can use it that way. Either way I've heard if you put the ph strip in your vg (something else for you to stick in there Jaimie-yay!!!) you can google acidity levels. I think anything below a 7 is ok and anything lower than a 4 is good if I am remembering right but I'm not sure. That is one of the big selling points of the preseed/preconceive+. They are just the right texture but ph balanced (IE-alkaline) for best sperm survival.

I've heard about those, but I never thought they could be used for this purpose! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Kootch strips.

Some friends of mine have thrown sex toy / lingerie parties. Like tupper ware parties but with better stuff : ) That would actually be pretty darn fun for spicing up BD ~ wish we could have a party like that on LuckyD's land!

I've been to one of those parties before. Kinda fun, but kinda embarrassing!


I feel like I've missed a bunch in my reply... I'll have to go back and check...


Anyway, I'll be MIA for a few days. OH and I are going camping, hiking and canoeing for a couple days, then off to OH's parents' house for 4th of July holiday. Hoping to avoid the family members who will make a comment about how it's our turn, or asking when we'll have kids.... grrr. I'll try to catch up with BnB while there, but definitely don't want anyone seeing me on this site, because I definitely wouldn't have to explain it!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Love your reasoning on the hpt in the trash Titi - there is a post on the 999 reasons to laugh at infertility blog about how peeing on them twice doesn't make them positive either : )

Yes, I play mind games with myself on the ss and the "if I do this then I will get pg this cycle". I always wish for it when I see the clock say 11:11 or 5:55. Today I ate a tuna sub ~ I've been avoiding tuna but now I'm doing little things like eating and drinking just to say "screw you non-pg body" but secretly hoping that doing all the wrong things will of course bring about a pg. Weird stuff! Overall I'm really trying to back off that craziness but, um, not being so successful.

Yep, I've been doing this too!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

OMG this has been the best way to start my morning. I LOVE this thread. I am laughing my PANTS off! DH is not a morning person and doesn't seem to find all this as funny as me. Watch out kootchcakes, I was more worried of making a volcano in there! (7th grade science experiment involving baking soda and vinegar!).
Moondance- the BSF (baking soda finger) is a spin off of a baking soda douche technique which is an alkalizing treatment for infertility. Some people cannot conceive because the vagina is too acidic which creates hostile cervical mucus that kills sperm. Baking soda is alkalizing so it counters the acid. Our therapist had ttc for years to get pregnant and after a zillion tests they did the post sex test in his wife that discovered all the poor dead for this reason. He told them to do the baking soda douche and they fell pg that cycle. My therapist said after all that time and money they got pg for 79 cents!
BSF is supposedly easier and more efficient.
SOPH-I know it sounds scary but keep in mind at 34 and ttc 20 cycles I would actually probably stick a real actual firecracker up there if you promised I'd have a baby 9 months later!!!!!!!! And don't worry Squirrel-I did it two cycles and got itchy one cycle. And I went CRAZY with it that cycle-I did it a zillion times and used way to much BS.
I WAS itchy and a little sore (could have been mild thrush, IDK) about a week later but oddly enough really tight (sorry tmi) at the same time which was very strange side effect?!?!?!?

I did the BSF maybe three times last cycle, and I went ahead and did it last night. It doesn't burn, but it does feel a bit tingly. So, very good to know that you had used it a lot more that one month! I was a bit concerned! Itchy kootch on a camping trip would be no fun at all!


You know, if someone actually made "fertile firecrackers", they'd fly off the shelves! Maybe make them with baking soda instead of gun powder and a tampon string as the fuse! Can you even imagine! The bathroom would be covered with a fine mist of baking soda! (why is there not a smiley of lighting a match!?!)

 

[Titi]

Squirrelkootch-er, I mean, SquirrelGirl-you are on a ROLL tonight! I am laughing so hard at my desk that tears are streaming down my face.......

Kootchnight!!!

 

[honeybee28]

kootch- i think you have gone kootching kootchy!! lol.

titi - i know what you mean, you guys know so much more about certain aspects of my life than my best mates, and you understand me so much better too! I could never explain the mind games or the BSF to anyone else lol.

oooh lucky me, another day at work listening to old preggo whinging that she's fat. im so jealous of he big ol baby bump. she's actually on a diet, can you believe that. says she doesnt want to put on too much weight. hmmmmm.

have a super duper day/eve!xx

 

[LuckyD]

Oh sweets, don't apologise! It's super hard to lose weight, but as Titi said, you are doing exercise too and don't forget muscle weighs more - so go by what you feel and how your clothes fit - I am sure you are doing great and you sound like you are very focused. Good luck lovely xxxx

LuckyD, I am sure it gets alittle emotional working with young people when we all want young people of our own, thats part of the reason I stopped watching baby emma, I would get upset when she had to go home with her mother and I would miss her if I didnt see her for a few days!!! It's hard. But when you do become pregnant, Lucky, you will be so incredibly happy and I pray it happens for you now. I am sick and tired of waiting for all the great women I have meet on here to get their bfp when they deserve it so badly. Thinking of you LuckyD!!!
Awesome how DH makes everything look better than it really appears!! Seriously, your pictures are always gorgeous!

Aw, thanks sweetie, that really means a lot. Yeah, it is hard. But I am sure it's only a matter of time. Yeah, my OH is good with the camera! I am looking forward to him taking lots of beautiful photos when I am pregnant and of our little bubs....

Howdy TryFor! When you started listing names I thought it was for your bubs!! When I got to smokey I was like what?! You could definitely make your own baked goods for a naughty party - who would you invite?

Ha ha, I did exactly the same! I got to Smokey and was like, oh ok, she's going for some unusual names....! But maybe after Smokey Robinson, he was pretty cool.

Some friends of mine have thrown sex toy / lingerie parties. Like tupper ware parties but with better stuff : ) That would actually be pretty darn fun for spicing up BD ~ wish we could have a party like that on LuckyD's land!

Oooh, fun! Yeah, there is a shop here called De-vice, it's a woman-friendly sex-shop, so no horrible porn and dirty old men in raincoats - it's all very open and friendly and nice. They do 'f**kaware' parties instead of tuppaware parties...have never been to one but think it would be pretty interesting! I promise I will host one when you all come over to visit

Lucky - Hiya thinking of you nearing O day

Thanks love! Have been too relaxed to even start using OPKs this cycle - better get on to it, CD13 tomorrow!

WOW Jaimie-I have been doing the "screw you" game too in the 2ww and was too ashamed to admit it b/c it kind of made me feel really bad and ungrateful!

I thought I was truly just getting sick!

I totally do this too...the kind of 'reverse psychology' thing...it's terrible what goes on in my mind sometimes!

That sure would spice up TTC especially TTHF!!! My idea lightbulb just turned on! I hear about those parties all the time, but I have declined the offers years ago. But now I want to have one or go to one!!! In 5-10 years with all of our children we will all have to mee tup and camp out on her land!!! The her fab photographer husband can take beautiful group photo's of us to remember each other by!!!

I have a few picked out

Oh, TTHF photo on my land with our children! What a plan...I love it.

Beautiful names Julia! Your DH's parents will be so touched that you are using their names.....how sweet x

Anyway, I'll be MIA for a few days. OH and I are going camping, hiking and canoeing for a couple days, then off to OH's parents' house for 4th of July holiday.

Have fun Squirrel! That sounds like a great weekend. I forget that 4th of July will be a big celebration over where you guys are! Hope you don't get any of those annoying when-are-you-having-a-baby comments....if you do, just tell them to go stick it up their kootch.

oooh lucky me, another day at work listening to old preggo whinging that she's fat. im so jealous of he big ol baby bump. she's actually on a diet, can you believe that. says she doesnt want to put on too much weight. hmmmmm.

I once read an interview with Heidi Klum where she said she would only 'allow' herself to put on a certain amount of weight when she was pregnant (I can't remember how much, but it wasn't very much!) - she said being pregnant was no excuse for 'letting yourself go' - at which point I immediately lost any respect I may have had for her (wasn't a huge amount to begin with). I understand wanting to stay healthy, but there is a line between being healthy and serious dieting....anyway, I know I am gonna be huge when I am pg, I know I won't be one of those people with a cute little bump - I am gonna have a big tummy, big thighs, big boobs, big bum....bring it on I say!

yeah-I too have a feeling that I might get pretty big. My body goes both ways..It's pretty easy for me to lose weight but I also put in on very easily. And I can't imagine dieting when pg (come on, really???) Would probably be eating like crazy b/c I'd be trying to fit in all possible nutrients for little bean, and would probably be afraid to exercise any more than walking and yoga.

You know what's funny, is that I never really thought/realized until B&B how long it can take your bump to come out for your first child. I've seen some don't really show until six months. That really bums me out-I want to look totally pregnant as soon as I find out. I think big bumps are awesome and lucky me so does DH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CelticNiamh]

Thanks Girls for all the positive comments and support for my slow journey to weigh loss LOL on a good note at weight watchers I was down 1 pound so better that I thought yay! on wards and upwards if I can just keep this up then I will be happy. Thanks you all again

Lucky D yea I hear you, bring it all on I say LOL I find I lose a lot of weight when I'm pregnant mainly because of the GD I get and worrying about eating the right thing so baby is healthy but ID never diet that much I mean its the one time you can relax a little. Plus get out walking show off baby and buggy to the world to shift the weight and BF helps as well.

SquirrelGirl you are on a roll girl keep it coming PML

OOOH we have those parties here, called Ann summers https://annsummersireland.ie/
so much fun, I swear just have a wee glass of wine or two before hand and you will spend the whole thing wetting your self laughing. I love the games.

I know, me too! I must admit, I do sometimes torture myself by going over to First Tri and looking at the bump pictures...just for a little while before I get too depressed! And some people seem to show straight away, while others take ages....

were every one on their cycle I'm 6DPO today I think BD 3 DBO so wondering now

Yeah, didn't mean that it's not good to be healthy and stuff, I just meant that surely the priority should be keeping your baby healthy instead of not putting on weight, which is kind of what Heidi Klum was saying. But then again, I have read of women in New York paying Drs to do (illegal) early c-sections so they can skip the last couple of months of pregnancy weight gain. Absolutely insane.

Niamh - I'm CD12 today - BD'd tonight, woo hoo! Hang on...are you saying that there is a chance you may be pg this month? Even though I know you are officially waiting a bit longer to TTC again....

yes kind wasnt paying that much attention to what day was which plus I ov earlier as well well whoops LOL although on less the MACA works wonders I doubt I will see a BFP more than likely AF on 10 of July what will be will be I guess.
OOH I know what you mean about being healthy but not strict and yea f it having a nice slice of cake if you want it just not every day twice a day PML

Are you serious, I mean why get pregnat in the first place and put your baby at risk just so you dont get big are they for real, throphy babies may be GRRRR a c section is no joke honestly , how early is early shocking . they are fools and missing out on so much

 

[Ejay]

Lucky - that is nutts, I agree with Niamh, why put your babies life at risk for your own vanity, some people are mad.

I am I think 6 days post O I think I o'd on CD 12 this time although FF still thinks 2 days later. I seem to have a slow temp rise after O

 

[SquirrelGirl]

wow, am I addicted to BnB. My OH is impatient to leave, but I sent him on an errand just so I could get my BnB fix in before we go!!! Sad, isn't it! But I love you ladies! I laugh out loud every time I'm on this thread!

Have a good weekend everybody!

Some friends of mine have thrown sex toy / lingerie parties. Like tupper ware parties but with better stuff : ) That would actually be pretty darn fun for spicing up BD ~ wish we could have a party like that on LuckyD's land!

oooh lucky me, another day at work listening to old preggo whinging that she's fat. im so jealous of he big ol baby bump. she's actually on a diet, can you believe that. says she doesnt want to put on too much weight. hmmmmm.

"f**kaware"!!!!! That's hysterical! Also, can you even imagine if I told someone to "stick it up their kootch!!!! I think just the thought of saying that to someone would help me smile at them and not say something bitchy! Thanks for the tip!!!!

I don't "want" to get huge, so I "plan" to continue walking as much as possible, but geez, you have to put on weight for the baby! That's so selfish to diet or restrict your calories solely to not "let yourself go". GRRR to people like that.

Yeah, didn't mean that it's not good to be healthy and stuff, I just meant that surely the priority should be keeping your baby healthy instead of not putting on weight, which is kind of what Heidi Klum was saying. But then again, I have read of women in New York paying Drs to do (illegal) early c-sections so they can skip the last couple of months of pregnancy weight gain. Absolutely insane.

That really really makes me mad! How stupid and selfish can people be?!??!!? Freakin' early C-Sections?!??!!! Those are the types of people who should have a hard time having a kid, or they should be banned from having kids if they are going to be so selfish. Why do those of us who would be wonderful, caring moms have such a hard time!

Squirrel I am going to miss you but have a great time!!!!! I agree-it is the ones who shouldn't seem to get pg that always do......DH says maybe there is a lesson there that we don't need, sigh. I should know-my brother's ex girlfriend got pg after they broke up when I first started ttc and had the baby back in the fall. She was using heroin the WHOLE time and has just gotten sentenced to 17 months in prison and the baby who isn't even one yet already has been awarded custody to her mother : (
